Toss the Old Appliances ($$)
If your appliances are past their prime, upgrade to stainless steel. It’s the most popular and easiest to integrate into future updates. Stay away from most colored appliances—their outdated design instantly ages a room.

Most buyers will plan on replacing any old appliances, and those costs may be reflected in their offer price. You can get ahead of those depreciations with an out-with-the-old refresh.

Focus on the stove, microwave or hood, and the dishwasher. Don’t worry too much about the refrigerator, especially if you plan to take it with you, as most sales generally don’t include the fridge.

Flaunt the Floors ($$$)
Your well-used floors might feel charming, but buyers only see a project, a price tag, and a less valuable home.

If you have existing hard surface floors in good condition, give them some life with a simple refinishing to help cover surface-level scratches and minor wear and tear. If they’re not in the best shape—or if it’s wall-to-wall carpet throughout the house—you might consider a hard surface upgrade.

Hard surface floors are easier to clean and maintain, more resilient, longer-lasting, hypoallergenic, and a vital feature of every updated home. Buyers want hard surface flooring. Where it makes sense (like in high-traffic areas), look to update to natural wood or manufactured plank, vinyl, or laminates.

On top of continuing the like-new home refresh, hard surfaces are worth the investment. Replacing old carpet with new laminate will more than pay for itself.

The Power of Fresh Paint

Fresh paint is the simplest, most cost-effective way to boost value and profit. It instantly updates a home, revitalizes older spaces, covers marks, nicks, or stains, cleans the walls, and gives the house a crisp feel. Fresh paint makes a home shine (literally), and buyers feel like they’re touring a brand new space rather than a well-lived one.

Choose a warm, neutral color for the interior that matches all of the existing pieces you aren’t updating—you don’t want your new paint to clash with the overall look of a home.

A neutral tone is a blank slate, and lighter colors make rooms feel larger. You can’t go wrong with whites, grays, greiges, beiges, or light tans.

Add the Finishing Touches ($)
The rusted-out, original mailbox is charming, but it sticks out against any new exterior updates. You want to modernize your home’s overall appearance (even if you’re not repainting), and an easy way to do that is by upgrading its existing features. Refreshing the mailbox, exterior lights, and address numbers is a wonderful place to start, and contemporary designs can give a necessary bump to your property’s appeal.

Anything you update needs to match the existing style, but with these modernizations, you’re giving buyers a glimpse at what your house could look like. Choose clean lines and colors that fit any new (or future) paint. You can’t go wrong with black accents or something belonging to the trim’s same color family.

Update the Roof

Most buyers ask about a home’s roof, and if yours is on its last leg, they might think twice about the property. A total replacement is only necessary if your roof is entirely shot. If it just needs a little maintenance, you can hire a professional to check for areas that only need a simple repair. A buyer’s inspector will point these problems out during the home inspection, and fixing any leaks, missing shingles, or areas of deterioration is a great way to avoid a brand new roof while ensuring the existing one is ready for new owners.

If a replacement is needed, a new roof will more than pay for itself. Choose a roof that matches your home’s style and overall value. A deluxe roof isn’t a premium selling point, but a new, worry-free roof is something buyers love to see.

Refresh the Lawn Tip #1
You don’t want your landscaping to scare buyers away. A clean yard, trimmed trees and hedges, and an easy-upkeep appearance showcase a simple life inside your home.

You want your lawn to whisper, “I’m beautiful and low maintenance.”

Keep things tidy with bright new mulch, cut back any overgrown areas, take care of dead limbs or struggling foliage, and do what you can to spruce up the existing landscape. Bring some color with simple potted plants instead of adding flowers or plants a buyer will need to maintain.

Remodel Tip #1
Update the Bathroom

When it comes to projects that will give you a great return when you sell your home, look no further than a minor bathroom remodel. Give your bathroom vanity a makeover, replace the toilet and faucet if needed, update the shower head for a better shower experience and re-caulk the bathroom tub.

Yard Tip #1:
Add Curb Appeal

Redesigning your front yard can completely change the feel of your house. Something as simple as planting flowers in the entryway will draw in party guests, and, when the time comes to sell, curb appeal is attractive to prospective buyers. Improve your front landscaping, paint your front door, power wash the front walk or complete another curb appeal project this year.
